Departmental: Groups related to a specific major or university department that promote a learning environment outside of the classroom. It is often not a requirement for members to be associated with the major or department relating to the organization.

Governing: Groups that exist to maintain a high level of positive accomplishment in student life. Many of these organizations assist with cooperation efforts among students and ensure students are acting in accordance with university policies.

Greek: Fraternities and Sororities are organizations whose primary purpose is personal development. They promote relationship bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood, and members typically refer to fellow members as "brothers" or "sisters." Traditionally, most fraternities and sororities are designated by Greek letters; hence, they are often referred to as "Greek organizations" "the Greek community," or simply "Greeks."

Professional: Groups that relate to a professional career. Many of these groups are national organizations and require special national affiliations.

Recreational: Organizations whose purposes are to assist members in continuing an active and healthy lifestyle. These range from on campus competition teams to groups that promote healthy activities during group meetings or events.

Club Sports: Groups with the purpose of assisting members in continuing an active and healthy lifestyle. These groups travel and compete with other university teams.

Religious: Groups that connect students with similar spiritual beliefs within a community of believers. These groups promote spiritual and honorable lifestyles through regular meetings, small group bible studies, and campus and community activities.
